According to police, the incident occurred at a ramen shop located near JR Kanamachi Station at around 9:30 p.m., Fuji TV reported. Police said the explosion was caused by a gas venting operation to remove a gas cylinder attached to a portable stove.

There it is AGAIN, “KatsushiKa-Ku” is this at KitaSenju?
I lived in one part of Kameari that was STILL KatsushikaKu…where did this happen ?

I take it we're talking about Covid death rates. If so, while perhaps not the lowest, the claim is not nonsense. According to the data I can find (link below), it is the lowest among developed countries except for South Korea. So somewhat close to the lowest. I know that there are valid questions about the comparability of data across countries, but unless you can show something more accurate, it seems the death rate in Japan is fairly low.

But it doesn't. Not even close. Why are people still coming out with such nonsense.
You know if you say it enough times, it doesn't make it true, right?

It’s always advisable to vent gas from cylinders in a restaurant rather than outside…

"Jim - I'm with you there 100%. The idea of jamming hundreds of people into carriages twice a day to sit in badly-ventilated offices so their shacho can look like he's "managing" them is preposterous.
But the trouble with closing restaurants at 8pm is that everyone on the train home is hungry. So much mor tempting to take the mask off and grab a quick nibble on a snack."
and please explain how Japan has the lowest deaths rates in the world???

It’s still safer than taking the morning train like sardines in Tokyo…authorities don’t talk about that! Just ordering restaurants to close at 8pm has done little to prevent the infections!

I thought restaurants were supposed to close at 8pm?
Good luck eating ramen in a COVID-safe manner.
